Horse Providers

The greatest challenge to hosting any IHSA horse show is providing the horses. Zones is the step just before nationals where you will see some of the best riders in the western states.   To host this competition we will need around 30 horses to be loaned.  One of the exciting things about IHSA is that the riders draw for horses rather than riding their own which is why we need so many.  Because the classes are of varying levels, we need varying levels of horses from seasoned show horse  to beginner walk-trot.

 If you are interested in possibly allowing us to borrow your horse for the show, please contact: 

Hunt Seat Horses Coordinator: Carrie Kolstad; kolstadc@gmail.com; 541-619-0849.

Time Commitment:

Please see the show schedule for class specifics.  Horses are needed all day Saturday.  We would love if you can come in on Friday night to get horses schooled the evening before.
